I agree that we don't know how the whole genetics thing works, and I would not hold my breath for a scientific explanation of the matter from the writers.

Saying that Rumple is "Half-Fairy" simply implies that one of his parents (his mom) is a fairy. That would be like someone saying that they were half African because one of their parents was African, or someone saying they were half German for the same reason. I'm perfectly fine with referring to Rumple as half fairy, as it is a reasonable description.

Now, let's just hope that Black is not somehow closely related to Blue (like a sister... ew). I'd hate to see the already messed up family tree become even more convulted by bringing Blue in as Henry's Great, Great Aunt.
