I've never read the books, i found it interesting. I figure that I'll learn the players and the history as we go along.
I wonder why the blond people are all evil?

that's a darned good question! Tho Denarys (or however her name is spelled, i've been listening rather than reading) doesn't strike me as evil. Just....brought up as the last of a noble house with certain expectations. Also, Dragons. I'm only through book 2 so far tho, so that could end up a very wrong interpretations.

The really blond brother was willing to let his sister be raped by 40,000 barbarians, so I'm going to call him evil.

Viserys? Oh hells to the yeah. Doesn't get much more evil than him. Or the Lannisters in general. Perhaps it's a play on the dangerous of gold? I wonder if Martin realized he was making the least sympathetic families blonde.

Well, I haven't read the books at all, but I was wondering why the darker skinned people seemed the most "barbaric" at first glance. I was thinking: "why do the Samoans have to kill each other at a wedding?"
I can't tell if blonde=evil yet because we have only met 2 really blonde people. The brother is pretty terrible, but I'm wondering about the rest of their people.

The rest of their people are the people you meet over the narrow sea in Westeros.

The queen and her brother are both blond.

Right. The Lannisters and the Targaryens. The Tullys are red or aubern, the Starks have brown hair and the Barartheons have black hair. (In the books - that is.)

I misspelled aubern - is it auborn? auburn? None of it looks right to me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Auburn. And definitely one of those never-looks-right words.
