Going through Police Backgrounds

Question

I am currently going through backgrounds with a police department in CA. One of the questions on the background packet is if I have ever been accused by a co-worker of being racist....I had been accused of this. THING IS ITS NOT TRUE! My aunt had passed away and when I went into work, I was really quite and she assumed the reason I wasn't speaking was because I found out she was jewish....I explained to her what the case was. I was never disciplined by the employer.....no re-training no write up no nothing....IS THIS DAMAGING TO MY BACKGROUND?

Answer 1

NO - I would not even mention the incident - very insignificant
