It made me wonder, hearing from certain people who faced discrimination and harassment. They were hurt every single day intentionally and some of them had PTSD caused by their harm and became incredibly jumpy and traumatized.

Would that make the person who caused the harm evil?

Too vague of a description. I would need a more detailed explanation on what happened to define someone as evil.

As some people may perceive things certain way and other people may perceive them other way.

Even when trauma is implied, I have seem people create their own trauma and blame it on others.

So, there's that. I would need more information before calling anyone evil or good.

If given all info I could conclude that the person purposely or by negligence of a responsibility caused harm to other person then yes, they would be evil.
