This is a very complicated song, much to be expected from Paul Simon. I think the phrase "myth of the fingertips" is significant. Each person's fingertip is different but that shouldn't suggest that we are that different from each other. The talk show host was a famous person but he's no better than you and I. Wars are started because of racism but we're it's just "the myth of the fingertips".
