It's nothing to do with sensitivity. It's because scooters are rather uncommon in the US. Car, regular motorcycle, bicycle, or mass transit are the ways people get around. Scooters are, in fact, vanishingly rare in most places in the US.

Scooters kill people! A scooter killed grandma!
and then they fricked in the booty
You gotta have a certain kind of city/location for a scooter to be a viable mode of transportation, I think. There are more of these locations in Southern/Central Europe and Asia, and thus there are more of them in shows/movies set over there.
Oh, and also

Scootaloo.
I had a dog that was a scooter once. Not sure why anyone would want to see that on tv.

I just genuinely don't like them. 
Our distances are too great for scooters.

Well I live in Ga., and I'm pretty sure if you used a scooter as your main mode of transport here you would probably die. Or you would have to only use back roads. My mom drives 30 mi (48 km) to work every day, I doubt a scooter could do that every single day.
I scooter would be pretty useful where I live. You're never not in some town or city until you hit the beach or Big Bear. I've seen quite a few actually.
But I also have a bike for places close by or a van for the not so close places, so I don't really need one.

Motor scooters or those skateboard-with-handlebars things?
Motor scooters are like motorcycles, but pathetic and shit. Only Italians can somehow make them look cool.

Hi
I might own a scooter if we were still living in the apartment we had in the first year or two of our marriage, but where we are now getting to town on one would be a suicide mission.
Seems like one has to watch a European or Asian film to see gas scooters on TV. In the US, everything is about cars. Not quite as sensitive, if your ask me.
