The way I was reading your claims, it seemed like the same act was judged more harshly depending on whether or not the person was in a group with or without power. If I am reading your post correctly, it would seem that this is not the case - you are simply arguing that there should be different terms.

As for the "moral luck" issue, you've pretty much got it. An instance of moral luck is whenever chance makes a moral difference. Philosophers debate whether or not this is a problem in a moral framework, but it's pretty clear to me: an accident of chance, something an individual has no control over, should not change the morality of their actions.

Edit: Major typo in the subject line... wow, I must be tired.
