Me neither. Calling out any group , in my opinion, creates a stronger feeling of separation between that group and whoever else is lumped into the deal. It's becoming standard practice, but I feel like it's at best a positive P.R. stunt about X company's diverse hiring practice, and at worst mildly counter-productive towards the whole "people one-ness" (sorry, can't think of a good term) goal. The only time I'm okay with such statements is when there are extraneous circumstances which allow for a group which wouldn't normally be considered. Example : "Teens between 13 and 18 welcome!" referring to an event that takes place at a venue that is normally 18+ only.
