Ruby called Qrow Uncle because she likes him enough to call him uncle, despite there being no blood relation between them. Ruby is not relation to him so she not be that attach the way she is to him... Ruby was like hugging him when she seen him... Dude. She has grown up with Qrow hanging around them because he was the teammate of Taiyang and Summer and was close friends with them.

He's a teacher at Signal Academy, and Ruby attended Signal Academy.

He taught her how to properly wield a scythe.

He's a big part of her life, and she loves him and considers him family.

As I said above, it was confirmed in Volume 3 Episode 8 that Raven is Yang's mother and Qrow is Raven's brother, meaning Qrow is Yang's uncle by blood. Ruby doesn't care that there's no blood relation between her and Qrow. He's Yang's uncle, and Yang is her half-sister, so for all she's concerned, he might as well be her uncle too.
