  1. Why are yall giving the Diasphora a vote on a country they dont live in

  2. How do yall decide who counts? Any white American is a Diasphor of some European Country

They're referring to citizens voting from abroad - it's pretty standard to allow citizens to vote wherever they are.

The USA does it too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-resident_citizen_voting

I thought the Diasphora vote was different though? Like the Turks in Germany who havent ever been to Turkey.

It is a very country specific question, but in general terms it usually does not matter when they've resided in the country, it is citizenship based. Indeed, the USA does it the same way - it is citizenship, not recency of residence that matters. Many Turks in Germany could potentially have citizenship by descent, but Germany has until very recently had strong limits on non-EU double citizenship.
