The "incident" Fuller mentions in TOS that Discovery will explore

That's some dark shit.
I think that if you ever were to try writing fiction you'd probably learn that there's a great deal more to creating a story than simply the establishment of a premise and a setting. Either that, or you wouldn't do it very well or for long.
That would be kinda funny, becouse, if I understand it correctly, original version of TCOEOF was thet time travel changed Enterprise into "ship of pirates" which might be where the idea for Mirror, mirror (which itself was very different initially) came from.
Thats actually always been my headcanon.... the Terran Empire, extended from Nazi Germany, right down to the salute.
As to how much of Fuller's vision remains in the final product, that's an open question. Aaron Harberts has given at least three different answers to that. At one point, it was claimed Fuller had mapped out the first six episodes. Yet we have an idea of how much they diverged from Fuller - for one, it was not Fuller's idea to have Lorca be from Bizarro World, although Bizarro World did stem from Fuller's original concept (we don't know what he intended for Bizarro World, other than that Bizarro World would've been visited in "say, Episode 4 ... [and] then be a construct that then carried through the entire run of the season.")
With due respect all of these examples are from OUR history. Easily common to both. Just a question of what you want to put in the titles.
Erm, lots of non-Aryans on board.
Except In a Mirror Darkly already established that the differences went back centuries.
By that point, the philosophy would be Humans are better then Aliens.... hard to be splintered that completely in a future that includes scientific knowledge that both aliens axist and that non aryans still carry Human DNA, as opposed to the rest of the cosmos of freaks and cattle to be conquered... the superiority complex would be carried over into a human superiority complex.
Ala: TNG All Good Things, the cause of something doesn't necessarily have to predate the thing it caused, you follow?
Effect & Cause, fixed points, wibbly wobbly-timey wimey, etc. Not to mention they could simply time-travel and witness the divergenge of that particular alternate universe.

I thought statement that was from the episode "Parallax."
Anyways, I've concluded with certainty that this "incident mentioned, but never explored" remains unexplored, unless it was some vague mention of Klingon aggression from TOS, but that wouldn't qualify as a specific incident.
