-We can assume he's the brother of Yang's mother, because if he was Taiyang's brother he would be Qrow Xiao Long, which just sounds dumb.

Or more likely he's uncle just as a friendly title and not biologically. I mean, seriously, one has to been living on mars all their life to not even think about someone calling a man "uncle" just for being a close friend to the family, like men call each other "bro" which means "true pal".

-Basically, you need to realize 1 thing: Biology means 0 shit when it comes to calling someone "uncle". Millions have used it to refer to a close friend of the family, even if biologically unrelated.
