Just because Ruby calls Qrow her uncle, it doesn't mean that there's no way he isn't blood related to her.

1. Apparently, when Yang was young, she didn't know that Summer wasn't her real mother until after Summer was KIA or went MIA on a mission. This means that Ruby didn't know that Yang was her half-sister at the time either. If neither of them knew they were half-sisters, why tell them that Qrow is the uncle to only one of them?

2. We don't know if Ruby knows that Yang is her half-sister. At the end of the Yellow Trailer, Ruby asks Yang what she's doing there, and Yang says "*Sigh* It's a long story," but then it cuts to black. We don't know if Yang left it at "It's a long story" or if she actually sat Ruby down to tell her about everything.

3. Regardless of whether or not Yang told Ruby the truth after the Yellow Trailer, by then calling Qrow "uncle" is ingrained in Ruby. Besides, they've both grown up with Qrow being close to them and acting as an uncle figure, so even if he isn't Ruby's uncle by blood, he still feels like family to her.

4. That's another thing: Some people consider an adult who's incredibly close to them to be family, even though there's no blood relation. I've said here once before that one of my parents' friends' daughters considers me to be her cousin and my mom to be her aunt, even though we have absolutely no blood relation. When talking to her friends, she refers to me as her cousin and my mom as her aunt. I did the same thing with a lot of my parents' friends.
