In almost all cases, it's not okay to even have only certain races or genders you're willing to hire. If you have a BFOQ exception that makes that okay, then it would be okay to announce it too.

As far as I checked, BFOQ does not apply to race. Only gender, religion, age or nationality and you must prove it on a case by case bases.

That's what the US Code itself says, but I thought there was a court ruling somewhere that the First Amendment overrode this in the specific case of casting actors for a creative work.
