520 _aEmergence of Southeast Asian populations in Western societies corresponds to Eurocentrism in social work practice. As per practice, race is assumed the universal, governing category of the social work clientele. It is on the basis of this hegemonic conceptual view that the construct of race is challenged by the emergence of alternative human population phenomena. For those who will engage in practice specific to the Southeast Asian populations, race must be reduced in proportion to its significance in their lives. The utilisation of non-racial constructs includes the need for practitioners to acknowledge the ecological perspective and other culture specific belief systems. The outcome will contribute to the evolution of human well-being despite the prevalence of race constructs as hegemony vis-a-vis Southeast Asian populations. - Reproduced.
