TRUE.

Stigmas are, by definition, very negative associations that are made to a person or a certain thing; while in Sociology, a master status means "a status that has exceptional importance for social identity, often shaping a person's entire life."

So stigmas can definetely become master status for some people, the ones that have been extremely criticized.
