Did you not read what I said? I'm pretty damned sure that Qrow is NOT Summer's brother. In 2013, a user named Montyoum (as in Monty Oum, the creator of the show) edited the Qrow page to say Qrow's last name is Branwen, and now we know that Raven's last name is Branwen. It's more likely that Qrow is Raven's brother, not Summer's. Summer's last name is Rose.

Plus, Ruby is not the only one who has called Qrow her uncle. Yang has called him her uncle, too. "Our uncle Qrow."

Most likely, when Yang and Ruby were young, they both thought that Summer was the mother of both of them. From the way that Yang talked, it sounded like she didn't know that Summer wasn't her mother until after Summer went missing/died. "It wasn't long before I found out why. Summer wasn't the first love he'd lost. The first was my mom."

If Raven Branwen is Yang's mother, then Qrow Branwen is Yang's uncle by blood, and Ruby calls him her uncle by familiarity. They may have been raised believing he was uncle to both of them at first. And even if Ruby now knows that Yang is only her half-sister and Qrow isn't really related to her, that's not going to stop Ruby from calling Qrow her uncle. Their bond is close enough for her to still consider him to be family.

Plenty of people consider someone who isn't actually related to them to be family. It's pretty common. I consider some of my parents' friends to be my aunts and uncles and their kids to be my cousins.
