The Near Haradrim, I would argue, are not truly evil. I would assume they ally with the Dark Lord in Barad-dûr out of fear, or view him as a supreme deity. Perhaps, however, the Emperors of Harad are evil, and wish for the land of Gondor. They would teach their people that Gondor and the rest of the Northmen are thieves, making the armies and citizens of Harad unjustly hate the Free Peoples. I'd say that only the Easterlings and Rhudaur Hillmen are really evil.
